Hi everyone, I have noticed some changes in my hamsters behavior over the past week and am nervous she is overly stressed out. Some factors that may have attributed to this that I could think of could be change in weather as it has gotten colder, or as a result of rough play. My boyfriend's niece was playing with her a little over a week ago and I was concerned she was being too rough with her. She used to be so friendly with me, and eager to run on her wheel or go in the ball, but now she just sits in her house. I have gotten her out a few times with a lot of coaxing, and once in the ball she does run around but she just seems less interested. We were also wondering maybe she has outgrown her cage and current wheel. We do have another hamster who is slightly smaller but has the same accommodations and seems fine; however, he is not played with as he does not like being lifted.
Hoping for some help on how to bring her back to her previous playful self!.
